Today I write to you from an airplane! I am on my way back from Florida! I spent the last two days in the sunshine and on the beach away from the cold and snow!

No, really I came purely on a business trip. I actually met with three different field doctors to talk to them about potential precepting opportunities (!!).

Palmer’s precepting program allows its students to go out and work in an office with an approved field doctor. There are doctors all over the United States that are eligible to host student interns, and this program allows us to learn from someone who has been out in the field for a long time. It also allows the field doctors to learn from us! The profession has grown so much that everyone can benefit. They also get the extra help around the office and get an opportunity to help out a student.

So most of Thursday I spent meeting with the doctors and talking to them about their practices and trying to decide which place would be best for me. All three offices were very different and had really different things to offer. It was a really hard decision to make, but I think I have decided on which office would be the best fit for me!

I am very excited for this opportunity and being able to have met so many wonderful doctors out in the field. It’s really great how accepting and welcoming the field doctors are. It’s always great to get out and see different offices. I recommend doing that as much as possible!

On Friday we spent most of the day looking at houses. Everything is happening so quickly! I can’t believe it’s already time to do all of this. We looked at some really interesting properties, but we found one we really like. Everything seems to be falling into place. I am ready to get out there and take in everything I can. The precepting program is a really great opportunity, and I am so thankful to be able to get this experience.
